did over 34000 miles in mine in 13 months.
i'm six foot tall, fat arsed and out of shape. you just have to want to use it!
my only problem was getting home on time, because i would go "once round the block" just to drive it some more.
i think it's booked at 5.6/5.7 to sixty, quick enough for an everyday car,
12000 mile service is £150ish from vaux dealer or thorney motorsport.
insurance companies think it's some kind of vectra(!) it cost about the same to insure as my S1 or FRST (although they're modded)
and ladies take your picture when you're stuck in traffic
